Autoritățile turce au anunțat înghețarea a mai mult de jumătate de miliard de dolari în active deținute de Veysel Sahin, care este acuzat că a operat platforme de jocuri de noroc ilegale și a spălat venituri din activități infracționale.

Tether Holdings SA, emitentul stablecoin-ului USDT, a efectuat înghețarea la cererea Turciei, ca parte a eforturilor sale de a ajuta guvernele în combaterea utilizării criptomonedelor în crimele suspecte.
Înghețul face parte dintr-un efort mai amplu de aplicare a legii în Turcia, care a depășit deja 1 miliard de dolari în active confiscate, autoritățile așteptând confiscări similare de active vizând organizatorii de jocuri de noroc ilegale și sisteme de plată suspecte.

Tether își extinde rapid operațiunile pentru a trece de la un furnizor de infrastructură crypto la un grup diversificat. Compania deține în prezent aproximativ 140 de investiții și angajează în jur de 300 de angajați, având planuri de a angaja încă 150. Noua conducere, inclusiv CFO Simon, susține această etapă strategică de creștere.$XRP #TetherUpdate

Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, has confidently asserted the resilience of USDT in the wake of recent turmoil that saw rival stablecoins and synthetic assets face severe depegging pressure. His remarks come as markets reel from one of the most dramatic liquidation cascades in crypto history.
USDe Stumbles Under Pressure, Tether Stays Firm
The recent crash exposed vulnerabilities in the market’s architecture. Among the hardest hit was USDe, a synthetic dollar, which momentarily plunged to $0.65 on one exchange during the chaos, raising alarm about its structural design. On-chain data, however, showed far smaller deviations, signaling that much of the volatility came from exchange-level anomalies.
In response, Ardoino used the opportunity to highlight that USDT did not lose its peg during the stress period, positioning it as “liquid, tested by fire” in contrast to what he called “low liquidity tokens.” He argued that those relying on lesser-known or thinly traded collateral types were now feeling the risk of poor design choices.
Collateral Models Under Scrutiny
A core contention is how different stablecoins maintain their dollar peg. USDT maintains backwarded reserves in cash and treasuries—an architecture that many see as simpler and more robust under high stress. USDe, on the other hand, depends on derivative hedging and offsetting futures positions, which can make it more fragile under extreme conditions.
Critics argue that these synthetic models are more vulnerable to exchange malfunction, oracle errors, or sudden liquidity squeezes. Even if underlying liquidity pools remained stable, disruption on a major exchange can cascade quickly.
Exchange Glitch or Design Flaw?
The depegging event exacerbated issues around price oracles and exchange integrity. The drop on one exchange didn’t fully align with prices elsewhere, leading some observers to suggest the root cause lay in faulty pricing feeds or rounding errors—not in a fundamental failure of the synthetic model.
Exchange representatives acknowledged performance issues during the storm and pledged to compensate affected users. They also apologized for not meeting expectations during one of the market’s most intense crash periods.
Reputation, Reliability, and What’s Next
Paolo Ardoino’s messaging now seeks to reframe Tether’s place in the crypto ecosystem: rather than simply being a dominant stablecoin, USDT is being pitched as the “safe collateral” option. With over $179 billion in circulation and a history of navigating volatility, Ardoino argues that it remains a foundation of liquidity for trading and derivatives.
Yet, the episode revived calls for deeper transparency, better designs for oracles, and stronger mechanisms to monitor collateral real-time. The crash illustrated how much the broader ecosystem still depends on centralized price feeds and leveraged derivatives.
